Re: Daddy

Oh it's fine! Wiki Tables are ridiculously confusing, I'm still learning how to use them properly! —JennKR | ☎ 11:29, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

It's ridiculous, I don't think they have ever turned out properly. I did hear the SOTS snippets and thought they sounded brilliant, I like the fact that Sia's vocals are on there too and hope Beyoncé's reggae verse is on the final cut. They're releasing a Grown Woman later tonight apparently (which is even better than the leaked one). —JennKR | ☎ 17:50, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey

Where was you last night? I was online for hours!  — AARON • 09:32, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

That's strange. I waited for you till 22 00 (my time). Hmmm :/ Jivesh1205 (Talk) 09:56, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm on now  — AARON • 10:05, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Same but you are not replying. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 10:11, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Beyoncé Knowles

I'm fine, thanks! You? In answer: perhaps; I think the same goes for the lack of prose on her live performances. I'll have a look at it after the FL candidacy for her discography is finished. Thanks. —JennKR | ☎ 17:52, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Revel Presents: Beyoncé Live

Hey Jivesh. How are you? Do you think that Revel Presents: Beyoncé Live could become an FA? My love is love (talk) 18:50, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

I am also fine. Editing on Wiki has become really interesting for me recently. And about that article I will see what I will do with it later. My love is love (talk) 07:18, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Crazy in Love (Beyoncé Knowles song), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hook (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WikiCup 2013 June newsletter

We are down to our final 16: the 2013 semi-finals are upon us. A score of 321 was required to survive round 3, further cementing this as the most competitive WikiCup yet; round 3 was survived in 2012 with 243 points, in 2011 with 76 points and in 2010 with 250 points. The change may in part be to do with the fact that more articles are now awarded bonus points, in addition to more competitive play. Reaching the final has, in the past, required 573 points (2012, a 135% increase on the score needed to reach round 4), 150 points (2011, a 97% increase) and 417 points (2010, a 72% increase). This round has seen over a third of participants claiming points for featured articles (with seven users claiming for multiple featured articles) and most users have also gained bonus points. However, the majority of points continue to come from good articles, followed by did you know articles. In this round, every content type was utilised by at least one user, proving that the WikiCup brings together content contributors from all corners of the project.

Round 3 saw a number of contributions of note. Figureskatingfan (submissions) claimed the first featured topic points in this year's competition for her excellent work on topics related to Maya Angelou, the noted American author and poet. We have also continued to see high-importance articles improved as part of the competition: Ealdgyth (submissions) was awarded a thoroughly well-earned 560 points for her featured article Middle Ages and 102 points for her good article Battle of Hastings. Good articles James Chadwick and Stanislaw Ulam netted Hawkeye7 (submissions) 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to Piotrus (submissions) for each of Władysław Sikorski and Emilia Plater, both recently promoted to good article status. Collaborative efforts between WikiCup participants have continued, with, for example, Casliber (submissions) and Sasata (submissions) being awarded 180 points each for their featured article on Boletus luridus.

A rules reminder: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on the 29/30 June, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. We are currently seeing concern about the amount of time people have to wait for reviews, especially at GAC- if you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hey Jivesh

Hey Jivesh, how are you? I have one huge request from you. Can you (if you have time) please copy-edit I Am... World Tour? My love is love (talk) 17:30, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jivesh

In case you didn't know, I have nominated "S&M" for FAC once again. It is the tenth nomination. I have collaborated with the co-nominator on the article, and it has been through a Peer Review, of which several people who are experienced with the process gave help. As you leaned to opposed my fifth nomination, I would appreciate it if you would re-read the article and give your opinion on how you feel about the article now over at Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/S&M (song)/archive10. Thank you.  — AARON • 10:28, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 July newsletter

We're halfway through this year's penultimate round, and the competition is moving along well. Pool A's Sasata (submissions) currently leads overall, while Pool B's Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) is second. Both leaders are WikiCup veterans, and both have already scored over 600 points this month. If the round were to end today, Miyagawa (submissions), with 274 points, would be the lowest-scoring participant to make it through. This indicates that participants will need a score comparable to last year's (573, the highest ever) to qualify for the final. The high scores this year are a testament both to the quality of participants and to the increased focus on significant content (eligible for bonus points) in this year's competition. So far this round, both Sasata and Cwmhiraeth (submissions) have made up over half of their score through bonus points, with, for example, high importance FA koala earning Sasata a total of 440 points (from a multiplier of 4.4) and high-importance GA sea earning Cwmhiraeth a total of 216 points (from a multiplier of 7.2). Other articles on important topics submitted this round include a featured article on the Norman conquest of England by Ealdgyth (submissions), and good articles on Nobel laureate in literature Henryk Sienkiewicz, Nobel laureate in physics Hans Bethe, and the noted Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū. These articles are by Piotrus (submissions), Hawkeye7 (submissions) and Sturmvogel_66 respectively.

Other than that, there is not much to report!

Hey

"S&M" got made an FA! 10 nominations and 2 years of hard work paid off! Lol. Hope you're okay.  — ₳aron 09:41, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

I am sincerely very happy for you Aaron. I ma great. Thank you. How have you been? Jivesh1205 (Talk) 09:45, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah I'm good, what have you been up to? You haven't been on for a while.  — ₳aron 11:40, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

I have finally got a job. I am working at the head office of the Mauritius Commercial Bank. Here is a picture of where I work. Any comments? :D Jivesh1205 (Talk) 14:09, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much my dear friend. How are you? Trust me, I also meet this place but sometimes it's hard to think that there is enough place here for everyone. For now, I want to concentrate on my work. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 14:25, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Of course. Real life and work always have priority. Just be as good, smart and hard-working in real life as you were on Misplaced Pages. My love is love (talk) 14:34, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

I will do my best. Thanks a lot for these kind words. I also wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 15:17, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Wow that's such a cool building. Well done. I hope you can come on here more frequently.  — ₳aron 17:23, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

It's one of the most costly building we have here and it is an ecologic one in the sense that it produces its own electricity through solar panels and it collects rain water because it is curvy; the water is in turn used for watering the garden and washing the parking lot etc. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 18:20, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Cool. Well don't be a ghost!  — ₳aron 18:30, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 August newsletter

This year's final is upon us. Our final eight, in order of last round's score, are:

1. Hawkeye7 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer who has contributed on topics of military history and physics, including a number of high-importance topics. Good articles have made up the bulk of his points, but he has also scored a great deal of bonus points. He has the second highest score overall so far, with more than 3000 points accumulated.
2. Casliber (submissions), another WikiCup veteran who reached the finals in 2012, 2011 and 2010. He writes on a variety of topics including botany, mycology and astronomy, and has claimed the highest or joint highest number of featured articles every round so far this year. He has the third highest score overall, with just under 3000 points accumulated.
3. Cwmhiraeth (submissions), 2012 WikiCup champion, who writes mostly on marine biology. She has also contributed to high-importance topics, seeing huge numbers of bonus points for high-importance featured and good articles. Previous rounds have seen her scoring the most bonus points, with scoring spread across did you knows, good articles and featured articles.
4. Sasata (submissions), a WikiCup veteran who finished in second place in 2012, and competed as early as 2009. He writes articles on biology, especially mycology, and has scored highly for a number of collaborations at featured article candidates.
5. Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), the winner of the 2010 competition. His contributions mostly concern Naval history, and he has scored a very large number of points for good articles and good article reviews in every round. He is the highest scorer overall this year, with over 3500 points in total.
6. Ealdgyth (submissions), who is competing in the WikiCup for the second time, though this will be her first time in the final. A regular at FAC, she is mostly interested in British medieval history, and has scored very highly for some top-importance featured articles on the topic.
7. Miyagawa (submissions), a finalist in 2012 and 2011. He writes on a broad variety of topics, with many of this year's points coming from good articles about Star Trek. Good articles make up the bulk of his points, and he had the most good articles back in round 2; he was also the highest scorer for DYK in rounds 1 and 2.
8. Adam Cuerden (submissions) has previously been involved with the WikiCup, but hasn't participated for a number of years. He scores mostly from restoration work leading to featured picture credits, but has also done some article writing and reviewing.

We say goodbye to eight great participants who did not qualify for the final: Piotrus (submissions), Figureskatingfan (submissions), ThaddeusB (submissions), Dana boomer (submissions), Status (submissions), Ed! (submissions), 12george1 (submissions), Calvin999 (submissions). Having made it to this stage is still an excellent achievement, and you can leave with your heads held high. We hope to see you all again next year. Signups are now open for the 2014 WikiCup, which will begin on 1 January. All Wikipedians, whatever their interest or level of experience, are warmly invited to participate in next year's competition.

This last month has seen some incredible contributions; for instance, Cwmhiraeth's Starfish and Ealdgyth's Battle of Hastings—two highly important, highly viewed pages—made it to featured article status. It would be all too easy to focus solely on these stunning achievements at the expense of those participants working in lower-scoring areas, when in fact all WikiCup participants are doing excellent work. A mention of everything done is impossible, but here are a few: Last round saw the completion of several good topics (on the 1958, 1959 and 1962 Atlantic hurricane seasons) to which 12george1 had contributed. Calvin999 saw "S&M" (song), on which he has been working for several years, through to featured article status on its tenth try. Figureskatingfan continued towards her goal of a broad featured/good topic on Maya Angelou, with two featured and four good articles. ThaddeusB contributed significantly to over 20 articles which appeared on the main page's "in the news" section. Adam Cuerden continued to restore a large number of historical images, resulting in over a dozen FP credits this round alone. The WikiCup is not just about top-importance featured articles, and the work of all of these users is worthy of commendation.

Finally, the usual notices: If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews.

Wow! Thank you Jivesh! I hope it gets to FA :) When are you coming out of retirement, we'll need you soon! Apparently Beyonce is releasing a song and video called "XO" soon! —JennKR | ☎ 12:55, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

How are you doing Jivesh? I think we are almost ready to give "Broken-Hearted Girl" another chance at FAC. Best wishes, Penguin. —WP:PENGUIN · 13:30, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Sure, whenever you are free. School resumes tomorrow for me, but workload doesn't increase until later this month. —WP:PENGUIN · 18:16, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

That's okay. I have my own nomination to tend to for now. We'll make finishing touches this weekend when you're ready. —WP:PENGUIN · 15:48, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Jivesh, I think the prose is just about ready. When you're free, could you help out with the dead URLs before we initiate the nomination? The Wikipedian Penguin 20:34, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi Jivesh! I just wanted to let you know that thanks to your great advice and help with "Love the Way You Lie", the article is now a featured article. Couldn't have done it without you. —WP:PENGUIN · 18:10, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 September newsletter

In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice. Sasata (submissions), Hawkeye7 (submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and Casliber (submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber), Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7), Pinniped, and red fox (both GAs by Sasata).

The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews.

Congratulations to everyone who has been successful in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and a particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition. While it has been an excellent year, errors have opened up the judges' eyes to the need for a third judge, and it is with pleasure that we announce that experienced WikiCup participant Miyagawa will be acting as a judge from now on. We hope you will all join us in welcoming him to the team.

Next year's competition begins on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; it is open to all Wikipedians, new and old. Brainstorming and discussion remains open for how next year's competition will work, and straw polls will be opened by the judges soon. Those interested in friendly competition may also like to keep an eye on the stub contest, being organised by Casliber. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2014 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!
